Kate Middleton’s style has always been a hot topic, and it’s no wonder. Since her arrival in the British royal family, her fashion choices have been meticulously analyzed.
Every dress, every accessory, seems to be scrutinized. The truth is, Kate has managed to position herself as one of the best-dressed royals in the world.
However, on February 1, The Sunday Times published an article stating that the Princess of Wales wanted to talk more about her work and less about her wardrobe. Something very difficult to fulfill.
What about Princess Kate Middleton’s style?
Despite her wish, the reality was very different. Within days, the press and royal gossip flooded the headlines, talking about the “fashion police” and the palace’s alleged censorship.
So, in an attempt to control the situation, Kensington Palace had to set the record straight. It’s not common for the palace to wade into these issues, but this time they were determined to put an end to the speculation.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson issued a statement explaining that the comments about Kate’s fashion were not from her, but from a particular spokesperson. They also made it clear that there was no change in how information about the princess’s wardrobe was shared.
The idea was to curb the crisis before it became a real scandal, something that had already happened in the past when they tried to handle the news of Kate’s health, resulting in an avalanche of conspiracy theories about the princess.
The funny thing is that, despite Kensington’s attempts to control the narrative, information about what Kate is wearing has never been completely under their control.
There are countless portals and Instagram accounts dedicated to deciphering the princess’s every look. So while the palace may want her work to be talked about more, it’s clear that her style is still an attention magnet.
Kate Middleton faces a dilemma: her fashion style is part of her public identity, but she also wants her work and commitment to be recognized.
Balancing being a fashionista and a tireless worker is not easy, and press pressure only complicates matters. But at the end of the day, who can resist talking about her incredible closet?
